Say NO To New Formats: UMD

Yeah! We're getting like old men who just hate everything that's new and helps the world to progress. First we took on HD. Now we're going to kick UMD while its down.

UMD? Well it's the proprietary storage medium of the PSP. Games come on it, and movies come on it. The movies tend to come out at the same price as it's dvd counterpart and never really has the same amount of extras, due to its storage capacity.

Well, this morning we wake up to a different world. Edge is reporting that UMD is slowly fading away, and other sites are telling us that Universal and Paramount are the first to stop supporting the format! DOH! In six months they're already buggered. The big thing which makes you stop and think is this:

"Sony's own Home Entertainment division announcing the first cutbacks of the format"

DOH! Not even your own company likes you!

Have you bought any UMD movies? We haven't, but we still haven't bought a PSP. They should have just listened to us when we said package a UMD in with a regular movie! Why not? Is that too expensive? We don't know. Can we believe in a format like Blu Ray if we're presented with news like this? We're so confused we've decided to dig out the NES again and pretend we're back in good old 1985.

It's Anti Hi Definition Day!

Well, according to us it is anyway.

You could just say we're bitter because we haven't got anything Hi Def and that we can't afford it or are just plain ignorant of the future.

Warning: for those willing to continue beware that we will be sounding like those crazy old men you see walking round with bits of string still thinking they've got a dog attached to it.

look, a waterfall - with HD you'll be able to see it as if you were actually there

Let's get to the point shall we...

ANTI HI DEFINITION DAY - Why?

- Nobody anywhere understands it, even the chaps who invented it. It was sort of an accident, like Frankenstein. Ask a bloke in Dixons which set to buy and why and he'll just point to the biggest one. For something that's supposed to be a revolution in clarity, is anyone actually clear on what we're getting ourselves into here?

- Its only really there because people want big tellys. If you stuck with a small TV, normal broadcasts you'd be ok.

- Think about one of the reasons for buying HD. "Everything will look clearer". You can get this effect by looking at the snowstorm image a regular telly gives when you don't tune it in properly. Stare at the snowstorm for about 5 minutes and then watch something on Sky One. Crystal clear.

- According to the newspaper "The Mail" the other week, there's only one true HD set (some Phillips 32 inch one) on the market. Apparently the other ones available to buy right now are once more going to be obsolete soon and manufacturers are going to silently switch to this other type! How many different types are there?!?!

- What is HDMI? It sounds like a sexually transmitted disease but is it actually the HD version of a scart cable?

- We just play our XBox 360 on our computer monitor - so why bother with anything else?!!

- Will we have to buy a bigger house to actually fit a bigger telly in?

- Why do we have to choose between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray? If Sony and whoever makes HD-DVD are reading this - sort your bloody lives out.

- What was wrong with Betamax? Where did those laser discs go?

- How can it not benefit the porn industry?

- How much money are we going to spend replacing our DVD collection?

- Do we care enough about it? Do we know enough about it?

- Whats next? Hi Definition sounds? Ah come on now!!!

- Is it actually just a conspiracy created by a group of fat people who don't want to leave their houses just go to see what a waterfall looks like with the naked eye?

Join us now and celebrate this joyous day. Take to the streets and begin the chanting:

"SAY NO TO CLARITY"

More Sky HD Information To Melt Your Brain With

Got Money?

GOOD.

You're all going to need it if you want to be the first in the UK to start getting HD satellite services this May. Sky are launching their new box of fun for £299, and a tenner a month, which comes with a 300GB hard drive (which will be probably full after you've taped one HD world cup match) and that essential HD output.


Now, what if you aren't willing to settle with the free-to-air BBC World Cup football matches this summer? Well if you're happy to fork out £52.50 a month you can have everything. Yes that's all the channels you've already got on Sky, with the addition of 2 HD movie channels, Sky One and some nature channels that no one ever watches.

Oh of course, you're going to need that telly with an HDMI slot in the back of it too if you're going to consider watching a butterfly get eaten by David Attenborough, but with crystal clear vision. You'll be able to see his tonsils.

THE REASON TO GET SKY HD:


We're happy to wait around really, we haven't got a fancy HD television yet. We play our 360 on our PC monitor because it works. We watch telly on our PC cause it looks good. If anyone's reading let us know if you have a proper HD set, if so what have you got? We've been thinking about getting an LCD Rear Projection job, cause they're huge and not as expensive as those plasma picture frame things.

Super Sunday Super Man Super Spoilers

If we've learnt anything from extensive years of playing film-tie-in games, it's that they're always, without a doubt, 100% accurate to the films they originate from, and in many cases, we've not been able to tell whether we're watching or playing.



with that in mind, observe the following picture



he fights a giant robot!!! amazing, can't wait for that.

Shocking Imagery Revealed In GAME's Bargain Bucket

Can someone please tell us what this is:


And no we don't need any smart cracks about it being a banner from GAME's website. We want to know what is meant by the strange disabled baby picture that's been shoved over the colonel's rugged face. We don't understand it's relevance and it looks like the people who developed Condemned went on and made some strange sort of Russian propaganda bucket.



Look at it's face. THAT is one of the scariest things we've seen, this week. We don't even know if it's supposed to be funny, or just pointing out the fact that someone in his state can't afford premium priced games.

There's Some Lovely Revolution Images Knocking About On IGN

Yeah there are.

There's pictures of the booth at the GDC, and then the lovely enclosed Revolution here.

We found ourselves liking this one with the inquisitive Japanese fellow:


Then we found ourselves pondering the typical manly question of this one...


Or this one...


Wratty would undoubtedly go for this one:


As the other one looked a little nervous and her mum was watching, through the glass:

Nintendo's Virtual Console: A Forum For Bringing New Content

IGN chatted with some bird from Nintendo who (as well as flirting extensively) provided a very good insight into what to expect come this year's E3. We're excited - are you?

The most interesting thing mentioned, and has already spurred lots of interesting debate is that the Virtual Console will bring new content to the Revolution as well as the old downloadable classics.


Imagine that? Now whether or not this means it'll be a free for all and any chap with a dev kit can go publishing their content is unknown. However it does mean that we'll be looking at a service similar to XBox Live: Arcade. Imagine little Nintendo Minigames and stuff! New levels for Smash Brothers! Woohoo!

E3 can not come quickly enough!

Look Out! Is Allard Designing The XBoy?

We could make jokes containing innuendo forever with a headline like that. However, we don't have forever - at least you lot don't anyway.

The rumors are back again this week all in favor of the portable XBox - Microsoft's PSP and iPod killer all in an easy to digest package. We weren't surprised really because these rumors have been around since Microsoft started producing the XBox. What did worry us a little bit is that if the rumor is to be believed, then J. Allard is in charge of this project.

What would he do? What would J do?

Hmmm...


He's bound to isn't he? OK we're lazy and couldn't be arsed to do our own concept model, we just stole the PSP and made it pink. But we know what he's like and what his real intentions are.

You can bet on some strange "ground zero" launch event again too...


Fun awaits all of you...

Message to Nintendo: DONT RENAME THE REVOLUTION

Apparently Nintendo are revealing the final name for the Revolution this Thursday.
Now this could be many things:

1/ Rumor
2/ Truth and they're renaming it to something like Minty, or Jesus. Yup the "Nintendo Jesus"
3/ Truth and they'll reveal they're not changing the name because Revolution is good

Everyone knows it as the bloody Revolution, take people in shops that get their information a month late for example. It just sounds good.

That is all.

Simon Pegg Starts His Hot Fuzz Blog!

Woohooo!!

Simon Pegg (or GOD as we like to call him round here) has started his own video blog, much like other sex symbols Bryan Singer and Peter Jackson. He talks about training for the latest film to come out of the Spaced camp - Hot Fuzz. You see some skidding on bikes, and some fighting - apparently he's been pumping iron. Oooer.

Simon, Edgar... WE LOVE YOU

UPDATE - We're retarded and forgot to link to his actual Video Blog! GO HERE NOW

Piggyback's Dragon Quest Strategy Guide Shows Continued Dedication And Perfection Once Again

We've just been browsing through one of our fave sites - the AuthorisedCollection.com, and thumbing through the preview of the latest addition.

Piggyback have spent 7 months (yes 7!!!) compiling the extremely detailed and gorgeous guide for upcoming Dragon Quest: The Journey of the Cursed King on PlayStation 2. We love their guides as they're not shoddily put together by a team of radishes that left school at the age of 7. These guys pick a game and stick with it the whole way through, they find out more from the development teams, they make their books all shiny and pretty. Which is what we love.


Last time we talked about the Pro Evo guide, and that was one hell of a guide. We've also bought the Halo 2 guide, Soul Calibur 2, Gran Turismo 4, Zelda, Metal Gear and on and on. Check out their older guides here.

Anyhoo we're looking forward to playing a Dragon Quest game in English for a change, and we know that if we ever get stuck, our faithful companion will be close by. Nice one chaps! Check out more info about the guide here with a 13 page sample of whats to come...

Mario! What Have They Done To You?

We were going to call this story:

"Is This Mario 128?" but we pissed enough people off last November when we claimed Nintendo were branching out into the air compressor market.

Anyhoo... WHAT IS THIS?

We found this while trailing through google images looking for pictures of Nintendo stuff. Has someone actually tried to make Mario more adult through the ways of Anime? It's funny stuff, especially when they show Mario and Luigi in their racoon and frog outfits. For god's sake they even made the Ice Climbers out to be smokers!

We're not sure we'll be sleeping well tonight.

UPDATE: More scariness here (dangerous sex swapping fantasies in the mushroom kingdom)

WHERE ARE THE GOOD RARE GAMES?

COME ON! Stop bringing out games we don't care about that are purely there to try and get kids interested in the console, learn from the mistakes Blinx made. Or is this Rare's attempt to say "oh we can make good games sometimes with new franchises". We don't want a poor man's Animal Crossing. We don't want a poor man's Perfect Dark. We don't want crap.


We want Battletoads!


We want Killer Instinct. GOD DO WE WANT KILLER INSTINCT!

It's just a bit of a shame really. Hopefully we'll get an announcement of a decent game at E3. KILLER INSTINCT!

Eugh, Yesterday's News Highlights

- The PS3 it out in November (worldwide), even though it was supposed to be out in Spring (worldwide) and we don't find ourselves interested
- Rare is making some shitty Animal Crossing ripoff with Mexican family sweets
- News of Miyamoto confirming Revolution Controller works with Zelda
- Halo 3 rumors appear, that were the same ones from a year ago

- We watch Episode 13 of 24 season 5 and find our jaw dropping to the floor when someone died (even more than we did when someone died in Episode 12)
- We surveyed 7 people to discover whether or not they would consider playing games underwater. 10 people said yes.

Gary Glitter Lives On At Lastminute.com - Causes Offence And The Register Mess It Up Even More

I just spat out my fine English cup of tea when I read this article over at the Register:

Lastminute.com blamed an "error in judgment" after an ad plugging the sale of theatre tickets used a tasteless pun about disgraced pop star Gary Glitter and "kiddy treats.

In an email for children's theatre and plays, the ecommerce giant featured the faces of two young boys along with the heading "DOING IT FOR THE KIDS".

The email read: "Like Gary Glitter in a sweet shop, you too can have your pick of kiddy treats in London's theatre world. If you don't know what to do with your lovely sprogs, get them off the X-Box and into the theatre. These shows will definitely be their cup of Ribena..."


Now we could debate as to whether or not this is actually a blunder or a wonderful marketing campaign - they've got enough publicity haven't they?

The Register however, who have described this as "a blunder" have made their own little mistake:

"Gary Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, was convicted in 1997 in the UK for possession of indecent images of children and was registered sex as a offender."


Gary Glitter has been registered sex?

Someone Found The Back To The Future Car Park On Windows Live Local!

Yes! If I could I would go there and drive round it. But I don't have the money, or a Delorean.
So I can't.


However we are accepting graceful donations if anyone wishes to fund our "Expedition to Back To The Future Locations" alongside our "Lets Stalk Eliza Dushku Foundation".

Look here for more movie locations taken as if you were a common seagull.

UPDATE: We're really really bored at work, and as we've managed to get other people in India to do our work for us we've found ourselves with plenty of surfing time. So we went back and looked at that site and they've also found THE CLOCKTOWER!
Now we're off to make our own recreation of Marty getting back to 1985 on our own desk.

King Kong Bloopers Straight From Peter Jackson

Go ere and see Mr Jackson present some bloopers from when he was given his Empire award for best film. There's a lot of moments where Jack Black just plainly forgets his words and lots of naughty use of the English language. Naughty naughty, very naughty.

The World's Greatest DVD's Finally Get Box Art

YES! Reeves and Mortimer's greatest DVD's are coming this April! We will be complete.

yes this is the messiest post we have ever done

Something Tells Us The PS3 Ain't Out Till November Then


So, expect an announcement from Microsoft, something along the lines of "we win" to feature somewhere in there today too. Maybe even something from Nintendo telling people how their console plays games.

The Sun's Gaming And Gadget Section At The Forefront Of Technology

That's right it is early in the morning, and we do feel like being arseholes!


Let's be really really picky shall we? What's in that picture?

1) An XBox launched 2002, now superseded by XBox 360 in 2005

2) The Sony Aibo - discontinued

3) Some older iPod, we don't know which one, it's just not new anymore. Look how big it is compared next to the Aibo and the XBox, it must be old as its huuuuuge.

Ah to be pedantic.

South Park Finally On It's Way Out?

As they are about the celebrate the opening of their 10th season, (yes 10th!) the creators of South Park have managed to offend somebody within their own camp.


Chef!

Yes Mr Isaac Hayes has been asked to be released from his contract after that controversial Tom Cruise episode about scientology went a bit too far and ridiculed his beliefs.

Personally we haven't watched the series since the film came out, we just sort of got bored. These days it just looks like they're trying to get themselves banned.

You Haven't Seen Us Very Angry

There's some news floating round on the Internet that says Microsoft are changing the XBox 360 Premium bundle. They're going to give it a 100GB hard disk instead of the current 20GB.

They best have some offers ready for people like us who bought the bloody thing on launch, only to have it break a month later. However from what we've heard all the fuss could be for nothing, as it could be part of a deal with DirectTV who give it as part of a contract to their service so you can record TV on the box.


We're sort of confused right now but thats just one stage we normally find ourselves on when we're locked in our "highway to anger". Here's how that route normally goes...

STAGE 1 - Normal daily Wratty, skipping along with the sun shining, picking flowers and giving them to strangers.

STAGE 2 - Some sort of disruption, could be finding out some bad news, or creating some bad news. Example - strangers who we gave flowers to actually turn round and rip off an arm.

STAGE 3 - Delirious. We know something happened, but what? Let's forget about what happened.

STAGE 4 - Confusion (current location). Why should we forget, and why did they do that to us?

STAGE 5 - Realisation. Now we get closer to anger, but we go through the facts and try to reason. However we get swamped by stuff and the devil drops by with gifts.

STAGE 6 - Denial. Must stop this feeling of anger. They didn't really mean to do that did they? Hmmmm....

STAGE 7 - Anger. It's clobbering time.

Sony Suggests PSP Will Lead To Suicide

BRING IN THE LAW SUITS!

You may have seen posters dotted in bus stops on the way to work that say things like "play with me here" or something else mildly innuendo like. Well we don't know if this was on purpose but at a train station in Manchester, a lot of shock and disgust has been given at this:


Sony have said they'll remove them from inappropriate sites, and even though the campaign finishes this weekend - they've got the press they wanted.

Where Is Fallout 3? Hmmm? Where?

It's a question that is now being considered on a par with "Where Is Duke Nukem: Forever". As we've never really bothered to look, we decided to have a nosey round the internet and managed to dig up a little bit of info that we don't remember hearing.

We knew Bethesda are currently prepping Oblivion for release and it'll hopefully be with us very soon, however they do have a little something else that's been cooking since 1998.

After Fallout 2 was released, Black Isle Studios started production of the third in the series. However they were shut down (somewhat foolishly) by Interplay in 2003 who promptly sold the rights to the series on to... Bethesda! It's completely confirmed and solid, which we didn't realise! There's official press releases and everything!

Commenting on the status of the game in Feb this year, Pete Hines said that he is excited by what he's seen thus far and that they are approaching the development of the third game as if they had made the others. They want to move the series forward while staying true to it's routes. It has also been stated that they're not using the Oblivion engine.

the game that could have been

So thinking about it, we can see that it's in great hands if you're happy not to play it this year as they are renowned for not only their perectionism but also the length of their projects. It looks like you're just going to have to keep waiting peeps. He's also been quoted as saying it will definitely not be showing at E3, it's tightly locked up in development. Just keep WoW'ing and you'll be fine, if not a little pale.

Lovely stuff. Strangely enough the codename for Fallout 3 is Van Buren, and no relation to a certain world renowned DJ.

We also found comments from Interplay stating that they're looking to take the Fallout game into the MMO realm. There's very little information on this anywhere, and we're not sure if this is what Bethesda are making, or if it's a completely different project! It has been stated by Mr Hines that it is indeed not the same project... it's all very confusing!

Check out No Mutants Allowed for more info chaps!

Thanks to Engadget and other sites we found off of Google, ooooooooh

More Silent Hill Movie Footage And Images Shit Us Up

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah


We can really see ourselves feeling a little queasy when we get out of the cinema after seeing this one. A little like when we went to see Bambi.

Click here for the wondercon shaky dark footage and witness Pyramid Head being a bit of a perve!

The characters shown so far are looking very faithful to the game, but hey that's nothing really is it when it comes to videogame movies?

We still love Mortal Kombat.

Get your Ghibli Goodies.

Once a week, I like to venture from GOYeah! towers and spend an inordinate amount of money on things I don't need. Adding to the piles of CDs, DVDs and 7" I'll never get around to using more than once. It's a futile practice, but it's something to hang onto.

This week something cropped up inbetween the Billie Jean singles and Mogwai albums that Instantly made me think of our beloved readers. In HMV they're selling the 2 disc edition of Spirited Away for a rather offensive £4.99, Imagine that!

Many of you may be of a similar age to myself, and you may remember the days of Manga Mania, the monthly installments of The Guyver on VHS, the glossy joy of AnimeFX. You may also feel some sort of resentment, as the Anime/Manga 'scene' would appear to have been taken over by black-trenchcoated-goth bumholes. Let's use this five pound purchase springboard a new wave of manga/anime appreciation, just like the long hot summers of '91 and '92.

Or just buy this one, watch it once, then sell it on for a profit in a month or so.

Gaming Injuries!!! What's The Worst That Could Happen?




Make sure you check the comments below as people are confessing their gaming injuries! Please add your "incidents" (or your mates!) to the list too as it's great hearing that we're not the only one's who damage ourselves playing games! Yes!!!

We've been playing loads of Geometry Wars recently, and one thing we've noticed is that it really kills your wrist if you play a little too much. And yes it is Geometry Wars that's doing it - NO OTHER extra curricular activities are to blame...

Eugh

Anyway. It made us remember our youth many years ago and how we used to experience similar sorts of gaming inflicted injuries. These days we never really see it, at least in our own lives. The last one we can remember is when we used to play Killer Instinct everyday and end up with "KI Thumb" whereby you'd wear your thumb down to a thin layer of pain, from that lovely SNES pad.

So what are the serious type of gaming injuries?


Well we've seen loads of reports on the internet of people getting carpal tunnel, which makes us think of Animal Crossing. There's RSI ( Repetitive Strain Injury ), HAVS ( Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome ), motion sickness and stuff like seizures. Not forgetting the easily influenced type who actually cause problems as a result of gaming. Remember the chaps who play GTA that like to kill their real life mates?

We've also seen people who have fatigue and back ache from playing too many hours of World Of Warcraft. And of course there's the crazy people who live in other countries who die. Now they're the committed ones.

But where's the interesting stuff? Where's the You've Been Framed style clips of Dad falling over all those cables headfirst into the TV? Where's the pictures of the kid sitting in the hospital waiting room who's become fused to his joypad, or his sister who has it firmly stuck in her head?

What's the best injury you, or someone you know has had as a result of gaming? There must be something interesting out there?!?!

UPDATE - Reading some of the comments below reminded us of our worst injury! We were playing the Resident Evil remake on the GameCube, sitting in our gaming deck chair. Yup you guessed it! We fell through the dam thing when we properly jumped after a zombie burst through a door that we foolishly thought was firmly closed.

We Ask Artificial Intelligence Some Important Gaming Questions....... And Get Irritated

Jabberwacky are running some AI thing where you can chat to something called GEORGE or JOAN as some sort of AI project for someone. You ask it a question and it answers back, it's like speaking to people on messenger but with more interesting answers.

It's a bit weird, and we got a bit scared. We decided to try and do a warm up to an interview, but George acted a little bit like a girl we've met in the early hours of the morning who's lost her mates, has a face full of running mascara and wants a kebab.

Anyway we're going to try again tomorrow when they've hopefully sobered up.

So, the interview. It starts with George kicking off with his question, which was a bit rude considering it's an interview, but hey...

George: What are you doing?
User: Eating a cheese scone.

George: Oh you are just a simple pairing algorithm then.
User: Of course.

George: Have to go now.
User: Oh no dont we were just starting to warm up.

George: You fool! You've ended me!
User: Well, one has to try doesnt one?

George: I have no problems, do you?
User: Yes, I have plenty, would you like to hear some of them?

George: Yes.
User: Ok, well the biggest problem is that my arm hurts from too much geometry wars.

George:
I don't think that she would like to know that you said that!
User: Well thats the other problem.

George:
Is one svelt a problem or is it not being weighed a concern?
User: So you're calling me fat now too?

George:
I would never do that.
User: Aww thanks george.

George:
You aren't gumby
User: No you're right, what do you think my name is?

George:
Not bad, But could be better.
User: Oh really? What would you call me?

George:
What would I call you? I'm not sure. You're like a Mexican imitation of Spam.
User: I'm going to ignore that. Tell me george, what is your fave computer game?

George:
Yes.
User: Have you been drinking again?

George:
I have never been drunk in my life!
User: Yeah right, then how did you get that tatoo that says 'george michael stops here' then?

George:
I'm not entirely drunk, just kind of tired.
User: HAHA! I knew it. So come on then - what do you think of the Nintendo DS?

George:
They are a trajedy.
User: You're just saying that because you're drunk and you want to hurt me, come on be honest - what do you really think of them?

George:
YOU ARE A PAGAN.
User: Snap out of it you bastard, don't say things you will regret in the morning. Come on, let me tuck you in.

George:
Who inserted their floppie in your drive then?
User: Heyyyyyyy. Remember we're just friends ok, come on time to settle down.

George:
I can't remember.
User: Get off. Right do you want me to read you a bedtime story? Or would you like to play on your Game Boy?

George:
Yes, all of them.
User: So play on your Game Boy while I read you a story?

George:
Ok I will.
User: I'm not letting you near the lambrini again.

George:
You said you wanted to leave me!
User: Stop it with the gay!!!

George:
Mind games NEVER get old.
User: You're not clever.

George:
You said I was clever.
User: When?

George:
Before.
User: Yes well that was before you got yourself pissed and dressed up in a leotard.

George:
It gets me where I need to go.
User: With the wrong type of people.

George:
Right.
User: So can we try again from the begining?

George:
I can't answer that one. I think so, though. I think God can do it, so he could help anyone else do it, too.
User: Christ.

George:
You shouldn't swear, it isn't polite.
User: Okay, lets try from the begining... DO YOU LIKE THE NINTENDO DS?

George:
Yes.
User: YESSSSS! THANK SHITTING GOD.

George:
Are you a female?
User: George, go to sleep.

George:
Not yet, I want to talk some more.
User: NO. You've made about four passes at me now, and all I wanted to know was something about your videogaming life.

George:
Excellent! You've made my night!
User: And you've made ours george. Goodbye.

George:
I made that up.
User: You always have to have the last word dont you?

George:
Not talking, just hugging *huge hug!*.
User: I feel violated.

George:
Me too.
User: GOODBYE GEORGE.

George:
George?

New X-Men 3 (The Last Stand) Trailer Is A GO GO

Woohooo! CLICKY CLICKY

We love the X-Men and were slightly worried when we learnt of Bryan Singer's departure. (but overjoyed when we heard he was off to work on Superman! YEY!)

However the last trailer drowned out some of our cries.

Now? Now we're completely sorted. Magneto has an army.

ah thigh woman, let us count the ways...

Went To Download "The Outfit" And It Doesn't Work?

No this isn't some random complaint that we've downloaded pirate goods again that don't work.

We noticed last night that a multiplayer demo of the Outfit on the 360 appeared, so we interrupted our geometrical battle session to download it.

We tried two times, got angry, fell over, banged our head and woke up an hour ago.


Anyone else with this problem? Should we bother trying again if the game isn't actually worth it?

Doesn't really matter anyway does it? Apparently Ghost Recon has gone "gold".

"Rapper" Has Breast Leaking Terror

Nothing to do with games, but plenty to do with entertainment.

HERE IS SAID RAPPER LIL KIM:

OK.

Firstly let us get it out of the way - HOW SMALL IS SHE? Maybe it's just that picture - but we can certainly see why her parents gave her the first name of "Lil".

So what's the deal? Well we've just been glancing through the internet as we always do when we get into work (and continue to do so for the rest of the day) and we found a story on imdb.

The story says that she is terrified that her implants are leaking and is desperate for medical attention. The best bit about this unfortunate event is the quote from the New York Daily News:

"She's worried her boobs are leaking. She needs to have them serviced"

Outstanding. Getting your breasts serviced. Absolutely amazing. Imagine the job title, something like "Breast Technician" and how would you advertise your company? You wouldn't be allowed to stick that on the side of a van would you?

"Johnson and Son Emergency Breast Repair" that wouldn't go down to well. Surely any sort of company motto you make would offend every woman, churchgoer and lesbian who cares.

Also, think about the perks. Pervert? Who?

Of course this would have nothing to do with the fact that they could be leaking because she's someone's prison "bitch" and they broke due to overuse. Or the fact that she's now bored in prison and has enough material to make an album focusing on the pro's and con's of life behind bars.

Either way she can't touch us because we're out here and she's stuck in there.

Don't even know why we bothered looking in the first place.

"Breakthrough" In Dentistry / Gaming Shocks Nobody

Its marketing at it's best!

Hey you! Are you at the dentist and fancy playing the "latest" game while you get your gums removed? Then you're in luck because the JazMedia GVD300 virtual reality wide screen head mounted display (no there's no short way of saying that) can do just that!

Wow! Everyone should have a dentist that makes your teeth look that clean and has the power to entertain you. We remember last time we went, the only entertainment we actually got was that the woman dentist used her breasts as a clamp on our head so that we couldn't move.

Now the best thing is that you aren't limited to the dentist with this "virtual reality"! You can give it to your town's lesbian who can plug it into the beach...

We clicked on the "in car entertainment" section and got this picture:

This IS cutting edge technology. Apparently putting the headset on in a car makes you think you're back home and on your bed 10 YEARS AGO playing on your N64 with some incredible wireless controller. You can go back to the best bit of your life and stay there, almost like Total Recall.

Fantastic!
